Finally! Australian Topo Maps from Garmin

Postby sthughes » Fri 06 Feb, 2009 3:18 pm

Just though I'd be the first to let everyone know Garmin have released Topo maps for their GPS's. Bad news is they are $229 but still at least they are available! Supposedly comparible to the 1:100,000 series with 20m contours. Thats all I know. I would be interested to see a comparison to the Free shonky maps.

I was reading something the other day comparing them to OzTopo. Ah yes, on the GPS Australia forums. See
